PATRICK COSTELLOE

HUSBAND

Always a top supporter and has even been known to groom from time to time (of course - only to the highest standard). Paddy is Eilidh's super supportive other half. Alongside his wife, he also competes on occasions. He mainly focuses on taking out to compete the horses who are in the early stages of their competitive careers; one of the most important phases of their learning and training.

JULIA & GERALD MIDDLETON

MUM & DAD

Eilidh's parents are forever helping out on the yard and fixing things, as well as packing the lorry for competitions and training sessions. They are always there in an any type of emergency - the best parents! They both go above and beyond to attend each and every event possible. Dad also makes all our hay, which to date has been super quality. As you can see, Eilidh's mum and dad are a fundamental part of her support team!

Anna works at the Oldtown Equine and is a key member of the team; she knows each and every horse inside out! She is in charge of day to day tasks and runs the show when Eilidh is away coaching or competing. Anna has lessons on her horses Sligo and Alfie, with aims to get back out eventing again in the near future. Anna is Eilidh's right hand girl and is learning the ropes of working on an eventing yard.

WENDY FYVIE

FARRIER

Eilidh has known Wendy since they were children, which makes her the perfect person to have on team Costelloe! She is a fantastic farrier and is extremely passionate about her job. Wendy is very conscientious and works hard to ensure that each horse is shod in the best way possible for them. She is also great with horses of all temperaments and treats each as if they were her own.

PIPPIE POLSON

SADDLE FITTER

Pippie is Eilidh's Devoucoux representative and regularly visits the yard to fit new saddles and make adjustments where needed, especially as the horses change shape. She has gone above and beyond to make sure the saddles fit all the horses and nothing is too much hassle. She has become a friend and Eilidh has stayed with her whilst travelling through England to events - more than just a saddle fitter and sponsor!

She also shares her knowledge, giving guidance to Anna and Eilidh on feeding properties and benefits.
